How Fortune 500s Use Procurement to Standardize M&A Integration

Episode 27 of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo digs into a hidden but massive procurement challenge: merging software stacks after an acquisition. Lucas and Luna walk through how a real Fortune 500 industrial company, after buying a $4 billion competitor, used a procurement-led software rationalization program to cut 40% of redundant SaaS licenses in 12 months. They discuss the role of a cross-functional M&A procurement playbook, the clash between IT and business unit preferences, and how procurement teams are using spend analytics tools to map overlapping tool categories before Day One. If you're in enterprise tech or M&A integration, this episode offers a concrete framework for tackling one of the messiest post-deal problems. #M&A #Procurement #Fortune500 #SoftwareRationalization #SaaS #EnterpriseTech #Integration #SpendAnalytics #IT #BusinessUnits #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EnterpriseSoftware #MergersAndAcquisitions #LicenseOptimization #CrossFunctional #Playbook #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
